The real-time typing thing was supposedly so you "don't have to look at '#### is typing...' before you could start responding.  It sounds like it's currently enabled by default, but can be disabled with a check.  I'm curious about it, but I'd need an invite before I could get in and start picking the features apart- all I've seen so far is the demo video from Google IO.  Would like an invite if someone's got one.

spiess, I got your invite... but this Google Voice shit ain't free?  Or is there only a cost when placing an international call or something?

I think international calls are the only thing you have to pay for.  What most people are using Google Voice for is call routing & voicemail (apparently their visual voicemail is pretty good).  Once you have your new Google Voice phone number, you can give people that one phone# & then decide where the call forwards to.  You can also use Google Voice as your voicemail, and you can even set Google Voice to, for example, "intercept" a call made to your home phone & forward it to your cellphone.

I don't have a Wave invite, buy the first one who PM's me with their gmail address gets my last Google Voice invite.   It's a free phone # with voicemail, if nothing else.

Trying it now. The transcription doesn't seem to work. 
PDH!

Haven't used the transcription thing yet.  Hopefully it's at least better than Vonage's.

I've got wave, but I haven't found any use for it yet. The fact that google is restricting invites doesn't really help since it just means I have fewer people to wave with.

We need to get a D&D game going over wave.  Second Edition preferably.
PDH!
